Locals protest against move to demolish homes on Algarve sand bars

Dozens of people turned out on Tuesday in protest against residences on the barrier islands of the River Formosa off Faro being seized by authorities for demolition.

The long-planned operation was undertaken by Sociedade Polis Litoral Ria Formosa, the local entity charged since 2014 with taking steps to return the islands back to nature. A contingent of 40 police officers was on hand.
